Former Kingstonian defender Jon Coke has been handed a testimonial, despite leaving the club earlier in the season.

The 27-year-old full-back was a victim of boss Alan Dowson’s mass clear-out in August after Ks started the Ryman League Premier Division campaign with four straight defeats, conceding 19 goals.

Coke, who is now with Ryman League Division One South side Leatherhead, made 158 first team appearances in a five-year spell with the club having joined from Walton & Hersham. And Dowson believes it is only right to honour a player who helped the club to promotion, having been part of the Ks team that suffered relegation in 2005.

“We are planning on having a testimonial for Jon at the end of the season to mark his completion of five seasons of continuous service at the club,” he said.

“Cokey was a model player and such loyalty should be rewarded.”
